Second Pair - Second Fail
2 years ago
I received these shoes as a warranty replacement for a pair of X Ultra 4 GTX that failed after a couple of weeks of use. To my surprise these XA Pro also failed in the same way in a matter of few weeks. The stitching on the inside of the heel failed exposing a hard intrusive seam and allowing the foam stuffing to come out. These have only been used on flat smooth trails and paths of 2-3km when I walk my dog, and probably have less than 50km total. I have almost exclusively used Salomon footwear most of my adult life and have had many pairs of X Ultra, XA Pro, Quests all GTX and regular, and I have been extremely happy with them, my current Quest 4's are fantastic. My wife also uses Salomon footwear (X Ultra 4 GTX, X Mission, Quest 4) and swears by them. However my last two pairs have been very disappointing in both comfort and durability. I don't know if its a material, design or manufacturing issue, but I feel the quality is no longer what it used to be.

Great shoe - lace flaw
3 years ago
I have owned this pair of shoes for 1 year and the fit and performance have been excellent. The waterproofing keeps my feet dry. The lacing system, particularly the lowest lace point eyelet is broken on one shoe and will break on the other. This makes the shoes unwearable. I have been told no repair possible. These are not heavily used shoes.

Very Comfortable, Decreasing Durability!
4 years ago
This is my 4th pair of Salomons. I love wearing these shoes, but the decreasing tread durability means they'll be my last pair that aren't from the Forces line. I bought these shoes in April because the Speecdross 5's I bought last August had lost most of their tread and were no longer stable to wear. Well here I am less than 8 months later and I'm essentially in the same boat. I'm a fireman and can't wear these on shift so realistically they only get worn 3 days a week. I love the way they feel, but a top of the line hiking shoe ought to last at least a year with consistent use and like I said I'm not wearing them daily and abusing them.

DEsign Issues
4 years ago
This is my 4th pair of Salomons, I switched from Synase to this type. These shoes are sturdy, the back heal always go inside when you try to put the shoes on. After couple months of use, the back heel of one shoe appears to be broken and it is difficult to wear, it is very uncomfortable. Putting this shoe on is difficult. I am using a shoe horn to put his on. The shows are 10 months old Definitively, I do not recommend this show.

I have had 3 pairs

All these shoes separated at the seams with medium use. At first they start our great then slowly come apart. Salomon has been no help and only gave me a coupon after my second pair failed. On the 3rd pair and both have come apart. See pictures. Salomon needs to spend more money on improving the quality of their shoes and less on advertising. I just wish they would take better care of there customers

Wanted to love them
4 years ago
I usually have wide feet so the wide was the go to choice for me! The width is perfect however the length is frustratingly inconsistent. The 12s were boats and the 11.5 are to short. I ended up keeping the 11.5s because my foot didn't slide around in them. I had the speed cross 4s in 12 and another pair of boots in 12 and they were perfect. These not so much. And also I've only had these shoes for a few months and the left outside side wall has already teared. I want to love these shoes so much but I cant. I love salomon and their customer service but these shoes are far from perfect.

Very comfortable but also very disappointing!
2 years ago
I've had these shoes for around a month and a half. I've only used them for day to day walking around and to wear to work - no hiking, running, or anything of the like. The laces have already begun to cut through the lowermost loops. At this rate, they won't last very long before they've completely cut through making the shoe useless. My other frustration with these shoes is that now they CREAK. You can literally hear me walking down the hallway due to the creaking laces. I can arch my foot and just hear the laces creak. I'm about done wearing them with how annoying they are. Beyond that, they are very comfortable and feel great to walk around in. I *love* the cinch up lacing with how quick and easy it is. It just needs a lot of improvement.

Kind of a let down
4 years ago
Just tried on this exact model and just agreed with the reviewer who said they seem narrow. Salomon are you listening? I have loved my last two pair of your hiking shoes but this xa pro 3d v8 gore-tex has a number of nice features: Very light, nice underside but it feels a bit narrow. Although my primary gripes include not being able to see the shoes - looking down. Why is that so hard? Even the video does not show the last (lowest) lacing stay which runs off by itself creating an unusual pattern. I've had that nylon pull-type of closure on other Salomon hiking shoes and would use it again, but disappointed in this episode.

Great for trail running, light hiking and more!
1 year ago
I’ve had these shoes for a couple of years and love them. I’m tempted to buy another pair during a sale just because my current pair have to wear out eventually, right? (Though they’ve worn incredibly well). The versatility of these shoes is the key. I live in a temperate rain forest and am constantly in and around creeks and wet trails. I also do light hiking and/or run trails in them several days per week. They are great for all of the above. And I’m very happy with the single pull lace system and the rock plate as well. I bought the wide as I need a wide toe box, and they fit perfectly.
